Just in from the WSRS via the Sound Devices support pages:


"We have confirmed user reports of a serious issue with Windows 10 and remo=
vable media formatted as FAT32. Users are experiencing corruption of .wav m=
edia files by simply inserting FAT32 formatted SD or CF cards into a Window=
s 10 computer. Files do not need to be opened or accessed in order for them=
 to become corrupt.
We wish to emphasize that this problem exists with .wav files regardless of=
 whether they were recorded on Sound Devices equipment or not. We strongly =
recommend not using Windows 10 with your Sound Devices created audio files.

This problem has been reported to Microsoft who will have to issue any fix,=
 update, or further information on the behavior of Windows 10. If we learn =
of any new information we will share it at the earliest. Thank you for your=
 continued support" (http://www.sounddevices.com/news/sound-devices-news/so=
